PFLASA is not meeting this week although we try to meet the first and third Fridays of the month. I’m sure many of you are instead looking forward to the upcoming four-day weekend. But what many people do not know is that this long weekend is the result of AISD’s calendar that accounts for numerous non-Christian holidays. Personally I find this inclusivity delightful and I think people should understand it. By my count, AISD has made five days student holidays for various religious/cultural holidays. You can view the calendar here. (Get’s off soapbox)

PFLASA and PTSA will hold a joint meeting Friday, October 11th with a special guest speaker Trustee Zapata. I highly encourage anyone who can to attend this special meeting about Prop A.

“L’shana Tovah” to anyone observing this weekend and my wishes for relaxation and enjoyment to those of you that don’t.

Ellen Stewart-Klein, PFLASA President
